Customize view popup menu in NX5 & NX6
Customize view popup menu in NX5 & NX6
(OP)
I have two questions on toolbar/menu customization,
1)In NX4 if I goto Tools->Customize, I used to get two dialog boxes one is "Customize" and another is "View popup" dialog/menu, so that I can add commands to View popup menu. I am not seeing this menu (View popup) in NX5 and NX6.
2) In drafting, after right clicking (MB3) an annotation, "Orign" (origin tool) command was listed in MB3 menu in NX5, which is missing in NX6. Can we add this origin command back to MB3 menu of annotation?

As for the 'Origin' option on the Annotation Popup, the Origin options have been added to the Creation/Edit dialog so if you select 'Edit' you will find the origin tools there.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

One extra click to reach the origin tool :(

If you recall, prior to NX 6.0, when you were creating a Note or Label and you wanted to change the Origin settings, you had to go to a totally different Toolbar and open a SEPARATE dialog, 'Origin Preferences', to make any changes in the origin settings. However starting with NX 6.0 the Origin tools were added to the Annotation dialog making it much easier to change the Origin settings during the actual creation of your Notes and/or Labels. And now since we have included the Origin tools with Creation, users now expect them to be there during Editing as well.

Thanks for your tip, using MB3 is a good idea and more faster to select 'edit' command.
Best regards
